The man that I am talking about is Blake Ransom. He is a 25 year old intergalactic "salesman," meaning, he's a drug dealer and proud. He is a massive 6'3" and weighs 270 pounds of muscle.....and fat. I say he is massive, because he towers over my 5'4" frame by almost a foot and outweighs me by 140 pounds. At 22 years of age my dark brown hair still holds the natural highlights that it has had for as long as I can remember. My chocolate brown eyes inspect the damage that was done the night before. My lightly tanned skin is covered in cuts and bruises and a headache is raging behind my eyes.
I should have known better. Why didn't I get out while I could?
I questioned myself, remembering the events that lead to this outcome.
Blake is my current boyfriend. I like the taller, bigger, and more muscled guys because of the first man that I was ever with. Blake is, how can I put this nicely; Blake is "protective." He likes to know where I am, what I am doing, who I am with, and what time I will be back. Then, when I get back, he asks me the same questions, and if I did something that differs even slightly from what I told him, he slaps me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a masochist, I hate pain, but he didn't start this way.
When we first started going out he was usually nice. He let me do what I wanted and treated me to anything I wanted. It started to go bad after about four months. It wasn't overnight or anything, just a slap here and there or a snide comment at some random moment. Then it started to escalate. He would come home stinking of alcohol and weed, beat me a little, fuck the shit out of me, and then repeat until it was morning. I was starting to get sick of it.
Tonight, I guess I should tell him that I'm moving out and leaving him,
I said to myself.
Crap, first I have to get to work. After that I can worry about tonight,
I said as I notice the clock and throw on my work clothes.
After work I went straight home and looked around the house to see if he was back yet. When I saw that he wasn't, I set my plan into motion.
Perfect! Now, hopefully, I can get most of my stuff out of the apartment and maybe even leave before he gets back!
I was about three-fourths of the way done when he returned. He came into the bedroom and I smelled the air.
